Chapter 27: A Glimpse of Warmth Beyond the Screen (Part 2)

  He quickly typed out the poem I wrote that day.

  Autumn night memories of old friends

  Autumn night cicada sounds disturb people's dreams

  The lotus flower's shadow falls, but people don't know.

  Flowers bloom and wither, hastening human tears.

  Gazing out of the window, recalling old acquaintances.

  Looking at the poem I once wrote, this poem was written in the library, because I've been thinking too much lately, I may have forgotten it, and now someone has presented it to me again, my feelings are complex.

  "How can you still remember now?" I asked in surprise.

  "I saw it that day and remembered it in my mind, then went back and wrote it down in my notebook."

  "Your memory is still very good, you remembered it after reading a few times!" I exclaimed.

  "This is my first time writing classical Chinese poetry, it's not good at all, I'm so embarrassed!" I said with a self-deprecating smile.

  "No! I think it's already great, this poem is about remembering old acquaintances. This article cleverly uses the description of scenes to set off the character's emotions and presents that tearful and sorrowful atmosphere in a vivid and thorough manner, which can be described as having a magnificent and elegant atmosphere, worthy of praise."

  "Thank you, but I think it's not perfect yet and there are still areas that need improvement."

  "May I make a small suggestion?" he asked tentatively.

  "Of course, I was just feeling that this poem needs improvement! Welcome to give your opinion." I said with a smile.

  "Since your theme is reminiscing about old friends, you should use more ink on this aspect. You can adjust the first three sentences and then focus on describing the scene of reminiscing about old friends, still keeping it to four sentences, which would be perfect. Of course, this is just my humble opinion, for reference only."

  "What you said is great, I've always thought it needs to be changed, but due to lack of time to organize, I didn't know where to start! Now that you mentioned it, I suddenly realized, it really benefited me a lot, thank you for your guidance, I will continue to work hard."

  "Don't work too hard, okay? You still need to study English and that takes time. A person's energy is limited, their body is the most important thing, you have to pay attention to rest. I saw you today and you seemed a bit tired!"

  Before I even spoke, he wrote again: "Today, hearing your voice, it seems like you have a cold. Spring days and nights have big temperature differences, be sure to add more clothes!"

  Is he concerned about me? It's been a long, long time since someone spoke to me like that. If it were Xi Ying, would he also speak to me like this? He would, only he has gone too far, whether in actual distance or in heart.

  I'm in trouble, I thought of Xiying again. I said don't think about him anymore, thinking of him is a long and deep sorrow that can't be let go for a while.

  I don't know why, but now I've tried my best to control myself and not think of him anymore. Thinking of him is a deep sorrow, and I don't want to be sad again.

  I don't know why I want to talk more with him on the other side of the screen, is it because this can make my heart calm down sooner? What I can be sure of is that I clearly feel a little warmth from gazing at each other across the screen.

  "Thank you, your warm words, I'll pay attention. You too!" After thinking about this for such a long time, I quickly typed out these words.

  At this time, Dandan approached me, she took a look at me and said: "You're chatting! Don't forget to go watch the basketball game with me tomorrow!"

  "Okay, I'll go."

  The piano piece "Autumn Fairy Tale" was playing on the computer, with its beautiful and melancholic music. I had heard it before, but now it was the same music, yet a different mood. It made me deeply intoxicated on this night.
